Gel Party Pack

I found the perfect shoes but my wider feet needed the half size bigger so I grabbed this gel party pack from the nearby shelf. Unfortunately after sticking the heel grips/cushions down for the first time, one completely wouldn't stick and just kept falling off. I resorted to wedging things in my shoe to keep it in place with the hope it would stick - it didn't. I thought I'd made it stay enough for me to go out in the shoes containing these, but both came off and one ended up on the ball of my foot, the other I have no idea where it is and i couldn't walk as my shoes slipped off my heels. Sorry but these were pretty useless as the glue/adhesive doesn't take.

I found these very successfull and found them very useful and it did stop the rubbing.

Easy item to slip into shoe when feet are found to be chafing after a period of wear.

I often find shoes rub especially where the top of the shoe meets the foot. These pads make such shoes wearable in comfort as they stick easily to the rubbing area of the shoe and ease the problem very effectively. I try always to keep a pack at the ready for whenever they're needed ....

This is a good idea and for a short time they do make your shoes a lot more comfortable, but they lose their sticky pretty much straight away, so after the first wear, if you need to move them or straighten them up, they just won't stay in one place after that.

I bought these for a pair of new shoes that I loved but just didn't quite fit - and they worked a treat. I used the heel strip to stop the shoes slipping. I was able to wear them for a formal occasion, where I needed to be on my feet for most of the day with no problems at all!!

I especially love the heel grips - not sure if they are meant to be transferrable, but I use them again and again in different shoes. They make loose-fitting shoes fit better and work in high heels where there's not enough traction (even if the shoe is the right size) to keep you in. I have a pair of stilettos where my feet keep slipping out, they are not to big, just slippery - and these heel grips work like a charm! I also like the gel spots, they're great for adding to those little areas in shoes that rub. I have a pair of flats, where there's a seam on only the left shoe that rubs badly, I glued in one of these gel spots (I used super glue additionally to really make sure it would stay in place) and voila! No more pain. Haven't found a use for the strips yet.

These are an ideal solution for times when you need to be wearing shoes that may not be 100% comfortable (do they exist!) . The only downside is that when they have been used for several times, they become very discoloured and pick up all possible fluff, so be careful not to take your shoes off in public if wearing them!

Just bought a pair of platform courts that are a perfect fit on bare feet but slip if wear with tights - definately don't want to be leaving them behind on the dance floor when out! This pack is great though I wouldn't recommend the 'heel grips' to be used on the heel area - they just roll up and off as you walk and can stick to the tights, instead position them under the balls of your feet to achieve the fit you need - it lifts your foot up slightly on the bed & then fills that little extra gap at the back of the heel - the shoes stay much better & theres no risk of the gel strip peeping out from the back of your heel. Easy to remove and re-position if swapping between bare feet and tights & not as bulky as the larger gel pads.
